Do you have what it takes for ‘Project Runway SA’?
Mzansi Magic and Ndalo Pictures in association with 4th Street Wines are looking for creative fashion designers who are going to shine as they proudly present South Africa’s first-ever version of Project Runway.
Project Runway SA is looking for 12 South African fashion designers to compete against each other for their big break into the fashion industry.
Just like the original hit reality show in the US, designers will be challenged to create garments restricted by time, materials, and theme, with designs judged by a panel.
Previous Project Runway winners have been able to focus on fashion full-time, featured in numerous magazines, travelled the world showcasing their work, created their own collections and launched their own fashion lines.
So if you can design and make your own creations, enter now on
Only the most promising designers will be selected. Shortlisted designers will be interviewed telephonically. Those who make it through the telephonic interview stage will be required to pass a skills test and go for an on-camera interview. Candidates who have been selected for on-camera interviews will be notified by April 2.
The winner will get the opportunity to go to Paris Fashion Week in February next year to showcase as a pop-up. The winner’s designs will also be showcased in Edgars stores for three months.
